How To Drive Traffic to a Newly Launched Website

After
spending a great deal of time building your money making website, you
finally can launch your website to the Internet. Now you will need to
drive traffic to your website. Your website will generate nice income
for you only if you can drive consistent volumes of traffic to your
site.

As
a new web marketer, getting traffic will be one of your challenges.
Here, I will provide you a few tips that will help you build traffic
for your new website.

Avoid Duplicate Content
Write
unique content for your website. Don’t simply take those articles from
article banks and re-publish them on your website. As your website is
new, you want the search engines to crawl your site and subsequently
get your website indexed by the search engines so that you get the
chance to enjoy free search engine traffic later. A new website that
contains a large portion of duplicate content could have a hard time
getting indexed by the search engines.

Social Bookmarking
Bookmark
your articles in large social bookmarking websites such as Digg,
del.icio.us, simply and so on. This could generate some free traffic to
you. If you want to get more traffic through social bookmarketing, you
got to write more unique articles and book mark them.

Comment on Blogs
Post
comments on the blogs related to your website. Find 5 to 10 related
blogs which have gained massive amount of traffic, take the time to
read the posts of these blogs and post your comments on them. You could
possible get 10 to 20 daily visitors from these blogs from your comment
posting effort.

Make Use of Article Marketing
Start
creating 400 – 500 words articles that provide some useful info and
then submit them to article banks and directories. The two main
benefits you’ll get from article marketing are free targeted traffic
and free relevant backlinks.

Build Backlinks for Google Traffic
Once
you have used social bookmarking, blog comment posting and article
marketing, your website will soon get into the index of search engines.
These method should have increased your backlinks and by the time your
website indexed by search engines, you might find that one or two of
your webpages show up on first page in Google for long tail keywords.

These
long tail keywords will send you very limited traffic, may be only 1 to
2 visitors daily, but you will be excited to see some of your web pages
rank first page on Google. If you want more Google traffic, you got to
work more on increasing your backlinks. To get the most backlinks for
your site, you’ll first need to learn all the possible ways of increase
relevant backlinks for your website, then put hard effort on link
building.

Conclusion
There
are of course many other methods of getting traffic, but at the
beginning, you might want to use the above mentioned methods as they
wouldn’t cost you money to use. To get consistent traffic, you need to
keep on repeating the process. i.e. If you prefer article marketing,
you will write new articles for publication on article banks again and
again. So, repeating the process will make sure traffic keep coming to
your site.
